Master <strong>Tse</strong> to<br />
Return to the UK<br />
The USA <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> office<br />
was established eight years ago in<br />
Seattle and moved to Hawaii in May<br />
2001. We have enjoyed meeting so many<br />
good students. Some of these students<br />
have been with us for<br />
several years, some even<br />
from the very first USA<br />
class. These loyal students<br />
include Seattle students<br />
Derek Fowler, Ed Ducay,<br />
Adah & Ben Masaoka,<br />
Gabe McCallum and<br />
Hawaii students Brandon<br />
Eugenio, Chris Booth,<br />
Lance Linke , Clarence<br />
Young, the Yuk Fat Temple<br />
students, George Arakaki,<br />
Tai Crouch, Graeme<br />
Glade, Vladimir Ciglar,<br />
Karen and Traci Shimuzu.<br />
Of course, there<br />
are many more, some who<br />
have stayed for a while<br />
and then gone on to other<br />
things but who made the<br />
class more enjoyable by<br />
their presence, such as<br />
Greg Dunn, Kahi Wight,<br />
Bobby Ebanez and Adrian<br />
and Laurie Bagayas.<br />
All of these people<br />
helped to create a<br />
good family feeling.<br />
However, it is now<br />
time for me to go<br />
back to my other<br />
family in the UK and<br />
look after things<br />
there. The UK is<br />
where I made my<br />
home when I moved<br />
from Hong Kong.<br />
Wherever I teach around<br />
the world, all my students, grandstudents<br />
and grand-grand students are<br />
my family but the UK is where I first<br />
began the <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> and started<br />
my <strong>Qigong</strong> and martial art family.<br />
The Chinese say, “There is no<br />
endless party.” So, now it is time to go<br />
back to the UK even though I will not<br />
give up in Hawaii. The class in Hawaii<br />
will be taken over by Brandon Eugenio<br />
“All these people<br />
helped to create a<br />
good family feeling.”<br />
who is a qualified <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong><br />
instructor with very good skill. It is time<br />
for letting the students grow and develop<br />
themselves. However, I will visit Hawaii<br />
regularly and also Seattle and New York.<br />
When I go back to the UK, I will<br />
take over and teach those London classes<br />
which were my classes before moving to<br />
America. There are many students who<br />
have been studying in the UK for over<br />
five, ten and some over<br />
fifteen years. It is now<br />
time to help them<br />
develop their skill to the<br />
next level and to pass on<br />
those skills such Dayan<br />
Palm, Cotton Fist, Three<br />
Treasures Gong, Cotton<br />
Spear from the Dayan<br />
system and skills such as<br />
White Crane Sword,<br />
Double Dao, Damo Staff<br />
Two, Thirteen Grab Stick<br />
from Chun Yuen Quan.<br />
There is also my Hard<br />
<strong>Qigong</strong> skill the levels 4,<br />
5, 6 and 7 which I have<br />
not yet taught.<br />
I do not want these<br />
skills lost as our skill<br />
ancestors worked very<br />
hard to keep passing<br />
them down through<br />
many generations and<br />
many hundreds of years.<br />
These students are the<br />
next generation skill<br />
carriers. The Chinese say, “A<br />
long journey can test the<br />
horse, long time can test a<br />
person’s heart.” All these<br />
skills need to be passed<br />
down. I do not want to see<br />
the skill pass down to the<br />
wrong people. It is my<br />
responsibility to help these<br />
loyal students be masters so<br />
that the skill is not diluted or<br />
changed and keeps passing<br />
down for future generations. Those<br />
students who are loyal and want to keep<br />
on developing themselves will always be<br />
my students no matter where I live as I<br />
will always help them.<br />
